Re: Comparison Between Ford GT & Ferrari

I’m lucky to own a Ford GT. She’s got about 2,000 track miles on her. It’s a truly wonderful car. Docile to the point that Grandma could go to the store for a quart of milk in it. But, get on it and it’s right there. With torque to twist your nuts off. I have a nice assortment of high performance vehicles (old and new) but the Ford takes the cake. I don’t have an “F” car so can’t make a direct comparison. I have instructed several students in Ferrari’s and I must say I respect them. They handle, brake well and have that wonderful Italian aura about them. Like Sophia Loren or Valentino Rossi.

I’m not sure you can make a direct comparison other than academic statistics. How could you do this with a nice wine or an attractive girlfriend? The fact is, they are all great in their own way. I took the FGT (Heritage edition) to l recent F Club event in North Carolina – it had more attention than the Enzo. She’s a beaut…”get ‘em while they’re hot…”.
